While the Beast was lurking in his castle, being mopey and full of rage, he didn’t pay much attention to his wardrobe. He stuck to the basics: the cloak. It is important that he wear a cloak, so that he can swirl it. There’s a lot of impressive cloak swirling in the movie, and I love a good, swirly cloak, so I had to make a cupcake wrapper for it!

You’ll cut out two pieces, the tissue paper taller than the scrapbook paper. You want the tissue paper to have a ragged edge, like the torn hem of the Beast’s cloak, but if you just tear the paper you won’t get the look you want–the paper will want to tear on the grain, rather than raggedly. Instead, take a damp cloth and dab it along the upper edge of the tissue paper

Then pull the damp edges off with a pinching motion–

Then tape the edges together and voila!

Fortunately the Beast managed to find another outfit in time for the ball

Belle’s ball gown has four layers–the smallest one will be cut out of scrapbook paper, and the other three tiers will be cut out of tissue paper.

Use your paint pen to draw swags on the scallops of the tissue paper layers

Now just stack your layers up–apply double sided tape to the back of your scrapbook paper and lay it on top of the smallest tissue paper, then apply double sided tape to the back of the tissue paper and lay it on the next size up, and repeat. Make sure that you put them on in the right order, because it is a pain if you put them on in the wrong order and then have to peel them back off without tearing them and start over. Ahem.

Glue on your roses–I used my hot glue gun, but you could use any craft glue that will dry clear
